The U.S. Constitution<\/a> was signed on Sep. 17, 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yet the Constitution would not become binding until nine of the 13 states agreed to the terms and ratified it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution was Delaware on Dec. 7, 1787 \u2014 followed by the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And on this day in history,<\/a> Dec. 18, 1787, New Jersey became the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution and join the Union.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The decision appeared to be fast-paced, as shown throughout the minutes recorded of the meeting dates, according to New Jersey\u2019s Department of State,<\/a><\/p>\n

The delegates were required to have a minimum of six days to establish rules, review the document and deliberate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The New Jersey delegates unanimously voted for the U.S. Constitution on the seventh day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Dept. of State suggests that the quick decision showed the dissatisfaction with the Articles of Confederation at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There were 39 elected delegates chosen to represent the 13 New Jersey counties.<\/p>\n

All but one \u2014 Samuel Dick of Salem County \u2014 attended, according to the New Jersey Dept. of State.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two years later, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of the 12 proposed rights, New Jersey approved 11 \u2014 leaving out Article II, which pursued regulating congressional pay raises.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New Jersey is home to 9.267 million people as of 2021, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.<\/p>\n

The Garden State is one of the smallest in the area but has one of the country\u2019s highest population densities, according to Britannica.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New Jersey gained its nickname as the Garden State in the 18th century due to its rich and fertile soil, as America’s Library notes. Over the next two centuries, farmland gave way to urban industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
